Identify the expression used in rejecting a Complaint letter.

This question was previously asked in
TNPSC Group 2 2026 Prelims Question Paper (01-Nov-2026)
The correct answer is

I’m afraid there isn’t much we can do about it.

A reply to a complaint either accepts responsibility (apology) or politely declines the claim (rejection). A rejection uses hedged, polite language that tells the customer no remedy will be offered.

‘I’m afraid there isn’t much we can do about it’ politely refuses the request: ‘I’m afraid’ softens the bad news and the rest states that no action will be taken.

‘I cannot tell you how sorry I am’ and ‘I wish it had never happened’ are expressions of apology and regret used when accepting a complaint; ‘Would you mind…?’ is a polite request, not a rejection.

I’m afraid there isn’t much we can do about it. option is correct.
